Wishes For My Precious Son

My wish is for Daniel to walk through
life with hope in every step, all the
while keeping his dreams alive.

My wish for Daniel is that he continues
to rely on his perseverance and courage
to triumph as a true champion.

My wish for Daniel is that he knows
that he is worthy, humble and gifted
with a most beautiful soul.

My wish for Daniel is to create music
because when it comes from his gentle
heart he sings like the sweetest Angel.

My wish for Daniel is that he discovers
a reason to smile everyday while never
letting go of his deepest aspirations.

Wishing Daniel always loves himself, as
he continues to see good in everyone
with feelings of pure gratitude.

Wishing Daniel trusts in his natural gifts
while learning new skills as he puts forth  
diligent efforts always resulting in success.

My wish for Daniel is to delve into
the arts, as he writes, draws, sings
and plays instruments so brilliantly.

My wish for Daniel is to be joyful in
his expectations, patient in difficulties
and dedicated in his prayers.

Wishing Daniel trusts that God is with 
him every step of the way sustaining
him so his thoughts remain peaceful.

Always wishing Daniel remembers he’s 
a miracle child bestowed on a mother
not deserving of his precious light.

My wish for Daniel is to know when I’m
no longer here I will continue to pray to
God that he only feels love and happiness!

Oh, Diane, what a loving maternal heart you have. You'll do better than fine as a Mama. These beautiful words echo in my own heart; it would mean a great deal to me if you would read my poem, "Impossible." You'll know why when you read it. Then, "Not My Child." I think you'll find yourself in both of those. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
